Follow me 
Follow me 
As we slip darker still 
Into the trees, 
Into the deep,
Into the shadows of my mind.

This collection of poems whispers the deepest thoughts I normally dare share with no one but myself and God. This is not my first Wattpad account, but this anonymous place is the only one where I'm willing to publish these. I hope you enjoy. <3

Another collection of (bad) poems. *tw: mentions of sexual assault, drug use, drinking, suicidal ideation and self harm* -a collection of poems that document my experiences with my mental health throughout high school. a warning: i had a few undiagnosed mental disorders (including anxiety and depression, among other things) and was also experiencing narcissistic abuse. so a lot of this is both depressing and disturbing. reader discretion is advised. i would also like to point out that this is only my side of the story. many of the people I spoke about were dealing with their own mental health issues and deserve at least a little less judgement (except for my abusers bc fuck them <3). anyways, enjoy. if you can lol- started: November 2019 finished: May 2023
